FEDA Festival of Excellence in Dramatic Arts VENUE: The Fringe Theatre, Joburg Theatre, Braamfontein DATE: 8 – 27 May TIME: 18h30 @FEDAfestival FEDAfestival www.fedafestival.co.za 1 The FEDA (Festival of Excellence in Dramatic Arts) was initiated twelve years ago with the specific aim of showcasing outstanding Drama Departments of schools in Gauteng. It began with only five schools and now has over sixty schools entering every year. The event is run by Janet Baylis and Phillipa Sandilands. FEDA prides itself on encouraging young theatre practitioners to take risks and create cutting edge work. FEDA affords them the opportunity to perform this work on a professional stage. The standard of work presented is quite extraordinary and each year more young writers, directors, and performers showcase their talent. Many FEDA students have moved on to Drama departments at UCT, AFDA and Wits and some are studying in L.A. and New York. FEDA also keeps developing according to the requests of the students, and this year we have continued to grow our Original Works Festival. “Theatre remains any society’s sharpest way to hold a live debate with itself, if it doesn’t challenge, provoke or illuminate, it is not fulfilling its function.” - Peter Hall 2 Contents Monday 8 May .................................................................................................................................................................................... 5 Original works ..................................................................................................................................... 5 St Andrew’s School for Girls: ................................................................................................................... 5 Saheti School: A Death in the Family ........................................................................................................ 5 Monday 8 May .................................................................................................................................................................................... 6 St David's Marist Inanda: Glengarry Glen Ross ......................................................................................... 6 St. Benedict’s College: Mind of a Sinner ................................................................................................... 6 Tuesday 9 May .................................................................................................................................................................................... 7 Beaulieu College: The Choice ................................................................................................................... 7 Roedean School (SA): “Much Ado” .......................................................................................................... 7 Tuesday 9 May .................................................................................................................................................................................... 8 Curro Aurora: Grandpa Outta Compton ................................................................................................... 8 St Mary's School Waverley: Dean ....................................................................................................... 8 Wednesday 10 May ............................................................................................................................................................................. 9 King David Victory Park: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas ......................................................................... 9 African School For Excellence: Home, Socks & Newspaper ........................................................................ 9 Wednesday 10 May ........................................................................................................................................................................... 10 Saheti School: Mommy, I love you .......................................................................................................... 10 Greenside High School: Unspoken Words ............................................................................................... 10 Thursday 11 May ............................................................................................................................................................................... 11 St Peter’s College: Les Chefs ................................................................................................................... 11 Roedean School (SA): #FeesMustFall ...................................................................................................... 11 Thursday 11 May ............................................................................................................................................................................... 12 King David Victory Park: Until it happens to you ..................................................................................... 12 King David Victory Park: Let's call Him ...?
